Maybe take a breath and reassess..because we're at the point where you're asking me whether or not we're sure that teosinte and field corn are different. Let that sink in. I mean, we know they're significantly different, because we literally made them different, eh?
no we are not.
there is no question domestication have given some organism a suite of biological traits which we can point to as the unique biological consequence of our domestication efforts. but the key is there is no such set for ALL pets. therefore the biological difference is cherry picked and does not define “pets”. it at most only define cherry picked “pet”. so biological difference does not unify “pets”.
only the human social construct truly unify “pets”.
